Having problems with your Vacuums ?

Believe the fuse is blown in my fantom fm760 vacuum. put the wrong kind of headlight in and when i turned it on it blew the breaker as well. took apart and the fuse is part of the powercord.

Answers :

Unfortunately Fantom has been out of business since about 2001, so parts are very difficult to obtain. Your best bet would be to try to find the parts online or possibly at a vacuum store, but I would be very doubtful that you will be able to find the parts. \015\012\015\012Good luck,\015\012\015\012-R

I was trying to repair my wife's kitchenaid mixer and took part of it apart, including the back part, where the electrical connections are. The original problem was the plastic gear was damaged -- I finally had the good sense to find the solution for that problem on the internet and replaced the damaged part. But now the mixer just won't turn on. I don't think I damaged anything in the electrical section, but I suspect I either blew a fuse or somehow disconnected something.

Do you have a model number? Is the voltage getting to the motor from the switch? ...

We just were vacuuming and it stopped as if we blew a fuse. I checked the breaker and it is on and plugged something else in the outlet with no problem but the vacuum won't turn on. Any suggestions?

Henry hoover Hi all,
I bought a spares/ repairs Henry on ebay having been told there was no cable rewind and believing that since I had a spare one in the shed it would be an easy fix. However, poor Henry had his cable replaced to find when plugged in, he tries to start but nothing happens. The motor turns once and just cuts out. If you turn it on and off again it happens again. One whir and turn of the motor, then nothing. It blew the fuses out in the kitchen first time too, so could it be a re

My Hoover Windtunnel blew the circuit breaker today, and did so again after I reset the breaker and turned off the only other appliance on that circuit. Any advice? Thanks from GrGrandma in Fremont

There could be a problem with the vac, the only way to know is to use an ammeter and test the current draw of the unit. If the vac is ok, the breaker could be failing. Plug the vac into another receptacle on a different breaker and see if it still tr ...

Kenmore 23613 The vacuum when turned on has a burnt smell. My husband has taken the vacuum apart, still can't seem to get to the belt. The belt in the rug part is not the problem, it is something in the canister part. Can you tell me what you think might be our problem? Thanks!

If it smells like burnt plastic it is something wrong with the motor part, but if it is a wet dog,burnt hair gross kinda smell it cool change the bag and buy deoderizer tablet to put under bag kinda like a airfreshener. if it dont work like it used ...

HI, my motorized brush barely turns.It makes a hot rubber smell. I took apart and noticed the spindle the belt turns on discolored from heat. Cleaned it, but still no turning of the brush.The vac is a hoover wind tunnel. As it moved accidentally touched the belt/ spindle and burned my hand a little. Very hot in area. Bright spark from motor noted. Was careful not to touch that part!

I had plugged it in to use it, turned it on and instantly it made a pop sound, smelled of electrical, and would not turn on after. i even waited for a while let the smell go away and tried a different plug in the house and still no operation of any kind. Is there an internal fuse that i could check on this? where is it located?

Sorry there is no fuse in the vacuum. It sounds like there is a short somewhere when they manufactured it. There is no way to fix yourself you will need to take to a repair shop\015\012\015\012Good luck ...

Does it have a headlight and does it work? if so then unplug the vacuum and turn the brushroller by hand a few times.then plug it back in,if it works then your motor might be bad.you can try to spray a little wd40 into the switch then.work the swi ...

We have a dc04 and the belt keeps breaking as soon as we turn it on. Have u any ideas as we have took it apart and we think cleaned all parts

Vacuum is not turning on. Is there some kind of a reset switch or a fuse that could have gone out?

There is no reset switch. First try a different electrical outlet. If that doesn't work, you may have to replace the power switch. Call the Dyson Helpline, they'll register your vacuum cleaner and direct you to your nearest repair dealer.\015\0 ...

Kenmore canister model numer 26212690 12.0 amps with powermate. How do you remove the bottom part to check the belt. The blade won't turn and the switich is on rug not wood floor. There are two arrows that say to seperate use screwdriver at arrow. Have seperated at the arrows but the back will not come apart.

Hi There,\015\012\015\012There are actually two screws that need to be removed before you can separate the bottom from the top housing. The screws are actually located either underneath of the headlight cover, or on the bottom of the ma ...

Windtunnel Hello: I was reading thru another readers problem of power to vacuum but won't turn on. Same problem for me. All hoses are free of clogs and I have the vacuum basically taken apart as far as I can. You state a THERMO by the motor may be open. What does this part look like? Thank you. Craig

Hoover tempo upright is clogged. I can only vac for a few minutes, then I have to unplug it and turn it over and clean out the under part under the roller. It is totally stuffed with dirt and dust and carpet fibers. I have a new bag in. It is like it is clogged up inbetween the bag and the roller. Also gets clogged when using the hose. It is maybe a year old. How can I take it apart and unclog it?

Disconnect the hose and head and wands. Drop a quarter thru the hose, the handle sometimes clogs. peer thru the wands and inspect the elbow on the head for blockage as well ...

Hoover U6637-960 the self propel is not not working. When lowering the handle it acts like it would like to work but the roller will not turn. appears to be something to do with the self propel part of the handle . took the screws aout but can not get it apart. Is there another belt of something in there?

This vac has 2 belts. If both self propel and roller not spinning then most likely it is the wide flat belt broken or off. 4 screws on the bottom should gain you access to the belt area. another issue for this model series is a worn pulley on the rol ...

My Bissell Quicksteamer Model 1960-R won't spray cleaning solution. I have cleaned it and taken apart the whole thing. I can't find any problems. The holes are not cloged where the water comes out as I disconnected it and blew through it to be sure. The lines show water trying to go through. It is as if it doesn't have enough power to pump the water out when I squeeze the trigger. I am thinking it is the pump thing but can't find a replacement part for it.

Vax 6131 water pump had stopped working on taking apart it had over heated and plastic casing had melted in one place,obtained new pump from buy spares which matched old part fitted and reasembled but pump does not run ,is there any internal fuses ? Or any thing else to replace
